New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
Anyone watching this? It just arrived on my radar. Beta #5 is slated January 25 for a few days.
This is a traditional MMO blending WoW, Aion and WAR. Why am I even remotely interested? Not entirely sure... it's supposedly one of the few AAA MMOs in a while and into the future. I plan on trying the beta, assuming I get in.

Re: New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
Sobri is in the Beta, it's a polished AAA MMO but it's nothing new it just has it's own flavor. The most innovative thing is the mass invasions and dynamic content (I'm told they are a lot of fun) which is like a more evolved version of Warhammers Public Quests system. Here's some articles from Massively.com regarding RIFT impressions - RIFT beta: Massively's first impressions and RIFT beta events: Impressions from the staff.
Personally, I'm looking for something a bit more next-gen so my interest is in the eventual release of Guild Wars 2.

Rift, anybody tried it?
Been hearing a lot about rift on warhammer forums atm as the game people are all moving to, was wondering if anybodys tried it out? so far it looks ok as they are apparantly making changes quickly and including things which should have been in warhammer online from the start like proper balanced and cross server scenarios, only problem i can see so far is 1 race has some very overpowered critical increaser skills though im hoping they see the light and change these as so far all the pvpers are choosing that 1 race obviously. However id like to hear a judgement from some proper pvpers who've tried it before i give it a go

Re: New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
Got a 1TB HD might as well try it.
Watched some videos, looks like WoW with a twist (can't tell how big of a twist yet) but I'll definitely try the beta, anyone else coming? I don't care which faction we try, but the next phase of beta starts Tuesday.

Re: New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
My wife and I are going to try and get in this week a night or two. We have keys from some other folks we know who also got emailed the 25 use VIP keys for guilds / clans. I am mostly doing it under the "what the hell" scenario. My time is so tight right now still that I really cannot spare another game on my list of games I rarely get to play. Who knows though and one never knows. Maybe it will strike something in me. From what I can tell from all I have seen and heard, Earthrise will not be for me. I have no interest in a predominately PvP game and have always taken issue to full loot (I do not have enough time to game to mess around with losing stuff, etc.). I don't care what "rules" they have in place, it just smells too much like sci fi Darkfall (which has rules too but yet still seems filled with ganking jackwagons and tardballs). Maybe perfect for some but not for me which is sad as I need something to fill the TR hole. Post up names when you get characters made on the server?

Re: New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
Who's all playing the 25th-28th beta? I put a key into my account for that one if anyone else is planning on giving it a try. I don't see myself playing this long term with a retail purchase intended, but I'm willing to give it a day or two test drive.

Re: New MMO - Rift - due March 2011
I'll be trying it. They haven't released shard names yet so it'll be hard to coordinate before beta5 begins. Lets all pick the same shards, 1 for each faction.

Found this new podcast about the pvp content there adding, parantly they aren't just pandering to pve so perhaps it mite be good after all
not sure if you can share these types or what but heres a VIP key for beta 72P7-DPHF-F9XM-N7ML-ZCHR been listening to the pvp podcast and it sounds ok, not amasing as neocron pvp but compared to warhammer pvp it sounds amasing, for example in warhammer they still have solo players fighting premade in scenarios, but they've already realised people hate this in rift so introduced systems to stop it happening...
